Infer the Topic Protocol Student Directions
Purpose: This protocol helps build anticipation and pique your curiosity about the topic we are
about to begin studying in-depth.
1. Your team will receive one “artifact:” a photograph, a book cover, a sketch, a diagram, a quote, a
newspaper headline, or an article.
2.With your partner, take a moment to study your artifact. If it’s an article, don’t read the whole thing.
Look at the headline(s), headings, and/or captions.
(Note: It’s okay if you and your partner do not agree and have different ideas captured
on your note-catchers.)
3. Use your Infer the Topic note-catcher to capture your thoughts (1–2 minutes).
•
•
•
•
What is this artifact?
What does it remind you of?
What questions do you have about it?
What can you infer the new topic of study will be?
4. When your teacher prompts you, quickly find another team. Take turns showing your artifacts and
sharing what you recorded on your note-catchers. Discuss the questions below and capture your
thoughts in the next section of your note-catcher (2–3 minutes).
•
•
•
•
What is the other team’s artifact?
What does it remind you of?
What questions do you have about it?
Now what do you infer the upcoming topic of study will be?
5.
Join in the whole group discussion. Your teacher will ask for a few volunteers to share their artifacts
and their prediction about the upcoming unit of study. Your teacher will reveal the topic by the end
of this discussion (3 minutes).

“The Electric Motor”
Written by Expeditionary Learning for instructional purposes.
You may not know it, but electric motors are everywhere! They are found in hundreds of devices that
are used by people every day. Some alarm clocks use an electric motor. Refrigerators also run on an
electric motor. Parts of the windshield wipers on cars, power tools, and computers all contain electric
motors. Given how much we depend on the electric motor today, it’s hard to even imagine what life
was like before it was invented.
In the early 1800s, the main source for electricity was batteries. However, batteries cost a lot of
money, so many people could not afford to have electricity in their homes. This led scientists to begin
experimenting with other ways to create electricity.
It was 1821 when an English chemist named Michael Faraday designed an experiment in which he
attached a magnet to the bottom of a wire. He hung the wire with the magnet from a hook and placed
it directly over a bowl of liquid. He then connected a battery partway up the wire, between the magnet
and where the wire met the hook. When Faraday turned the battery on, the wire began to spin. This
experiment became the first example of a machine capable of generating electricity better than a
battery. Faraday called it the electric motor.
Faraday’s electric motor eventually led to Thomas Edison’s construction of an electric power plant in
New York City in 1882. Edison used the idea of the electric motor to figure out a way to generate
electricity that people could buy. Edison’s massive plant provided enough electricity to power 1,200
light bulbs, essentially allowing everyone to have access to reasonably priced electricity.
Many scientists continued to improve on these earlier versions of the electric motor, and the ongoing
advancements have undoubtedly made our lives much simpler. So the next time you turn on the lights,
dry your hair, or use a CD player, think about how lucky you are that the electric motor was invented!

“Ingenious Inventions by Women: The Windshield Wiper and the Paper Bag Machine”
Written by Expeditionary Learning for instructional purposes
Mary Anderson and Margaret E. Knight are two inventors you have probably never heard of.
However, their ingenious ideas have made our lives both safer and simpler. Read on to learn more
about how and why each of these brilliant women developed devices that we still rely on so much
today.
Mary Anderson
Where does the idea for a great invention come from? Well, in the case of Mary Anderson it was
developed purely from the desire to make people’s lives safer.
It was the year 1902 when Mary Anderson traveled far from her home in Alabama and boarded a
New York City streetcar. The snow and sleet pelted the car mercilessly. The driver struggled to see the
road in front of him through the frost-caked glass. It was because Mary felt sorry for the driver and
realized the potential danger to her fellow passengers that she was inspired to create a device that
would make people’s lives better. That invention was the windshield wiper.
At the time, the best option available was a split windshield. During bad weather, drivers would
swing open their front window in the hopes that debris would slide off to clear their view. However,
this design did not work very well. So Mary thought, “Why not create a device to remove the snow and
ice completely?” Immediately, she began to draw up plans in her notebook.
Mary’s final sketch became what we refer to today as “windshield wipers.” Or, as she described in
her patent application, “… an improvement in window-cleaning devices in which a radially-swinging
arm is actuated by a handle from inside of a car-vestibule,” which is just another way of saying there
would be a lever inside the car that made an arm move across the glass of the windshield.
Unfortunately, manufacturers did not see the value of her idea and she allowed the patent to expire.
Several years later, someone else saw Mary’s idea. That person patented and sold the invention of
windshield wipers to car companies far and wide. Today, we can all be grateful to Mary Anderson for
this ingenious invention because it helps us see where we’re going, even in the most inclement
weather.

“Ingenious Inventions by Women: The Windshield Wiper and the Paper Bag Machine”
Margaret E. Knight
Whereas Mary Anderson’s goal was to make people’s lives safer, another inventor, Margaret E.
Knight, set out to make people’s lives easier. In the mid-1800s, Margaret Knight worked at the
Columbia Paper Bag Company. Her job was to tie together stacks of handmade, flat-bottomed bags.
Flat-bottomed bags took a long time to make, so they cost more than most people could afford. At the
time, most people could only afford large wooden crates or poorly crafted envelope-shaped bags to
transport their goods from the grocery store to their homes. So when Margaret had been on the job
only a week she wondered, “Why can’t flat-bottomed bags be made with a machine so they would take
less time to put together and cost less money? Then everyone could afford them.” Similar to Mary,
Margaret’s question led her to create a device that would improve people’s lives.
Margaret was neither a scientist nor an engineer. However, because she had worked with machines
most of her life, she understood how they worked and how to build them. She began sketching ideas
for a new paper bag machine that would fold square-bottomed bags. Her next step was constructing
and testing the various parts of her machine. Within a year, Margaret had built a complete and
working model of her invention. Once her wooden model was complete, she hired a machinist to build
one out of iron. She submitted an application for a patent along with the newest version of her “Paper
Feeding Machine” in 1868.
Unlike Mary’s idea, the value of Margaret’s machine was recognized almost immediately. When a
man named Charles Annan saw Mary’s paper bag machine being cast in iron at the machinist’s shop,
he tried to steal the idea. Annan copied Margaret’s invention and tried to file a patent. He claimed he
invented it first. Margaret fought Charles Annan’s claim. She traveled to Washington, D.C. to fight
him in court. After days of presenting evidence, Margaret received credit for being the first person to
develop the paper-folding device. She was awarded the patent for her invention in 1870.
Margaret spent her life developing new and useful inventions. Eventually, she held the rights to 27
patents. In fact, reporters referred to her as “Lady Edison” because of her many discoveries.
Nevertheless, it was her first invention of the paper-bag machine that continues to make our lives
simpler, even in today’s modern world.

“First College Basketball Game”
When you are out on the court playing basketball, or watching it on TV, have you ever wondered who
invented the game? The first ever college basketball game was played on January 18, 1896, when the
University of Iowa invited student athletes from the new University of Chicago for an experimental
game. Final score: Chicago 15, Iowa 12, a bit different from the 100-point scores of today.
In December 1891, Canadian-born James Naismith, a physical education teacher at the YMCA (Young
Men's Christian Association) training school, took a soccer ball and a peach basket in the gym and
invented basketball. In 1893, he replaced the peach basket with iron hoops and a hammock-style
basket. Ten years later came the open-ended nets of today. Before that, you had to retrieve your ball
from the basket every time you scored.
In 1963, college games were first broadcast on national TV, but it wasn't until the 1980s that sports
fans ranked basketball up there with football and baseball. It's a popular neighborhood sport, too. The
next time you shoot hoops with your family or friends, you can tell them how it all got started.
